This bill requires data center operators to pay all costs of providing electricity to their facilities and prohibits electric utilities from raising rates on residential customers to offset data center infrastructure expenses. The bill also allows counties and cities to adopt their own rules to limit, prohibit, or regulate data center construction and operations, rather than having state law override local authority.
